Countries to visit in your lifetime. The most interesting places on the planet. Akhtubinsky district, Astrakhan region
How beautiful our planet Earth is. There is so much that is not seen and not identified in it. God gave us one life to fully enjoy it, to see all the beauty of the nature of our home. But it is not always possible to see everything and go everywhere.
And today, in order to catch up a little, we will make a small virtual adventure, acquaintance, through the most beautiful and colorful places on the planet Earth, where each of us should visit in this life!

And this is perhaps one of the most colorful places on our planet. The only corner in the world where heaven and earth truly merge into one. You can see it especially in the last photo.
Halong Bay, Vietnam 
One of the most ancient bays of human civilization. The sea and the wind made rocks here - an amazing work of art
Cairo, Egypt 
One of the wonders of the world. Rumor has it that at that time, and this is about 5000 years ago, humanity could not build such a miracle on its own, with simple tools. On the rock paintings, scientists have deciphered (disputes are still going on) some data on this matter. It turned out that they helped the Egyptians build the pyramids alien civilization, which has now completely lost contact with us. And until now, the pyramids of Cheops serve as a kind of haven for spaceships. Amazing spectacle!

Hanging Mountains in China 
Legendary and world-famous Hanging Mountains in China. It was from them that the famous director James Cameron copied the flying rocks in his epic "Avatar".
Antelope Canyon, USA
Centuries-old canyons in the United States of America. Once upon a time, rivers flowed here, and it was the water with the wind that gave them an unsurpassed memorable appearance.
Baikal, Russia 
The largest accumulation of fresh water in the entire globe. No one has yet been able to measure the depth of our Lake Baikal, and every year, its depth is growing and growing, due to the divergence of tectonic plates. Truly graceful and at the same time the most beautiful natural phenomenon.
Hamilton Basin, Texas, USA 
The famous natural pool in Texas.
angkor wat in cambodia 
Perhaps one of the most ancient buildings of mankind. Where the spirit of history and the mysterious whisper of leaves make you connect with nature, knowing the meaning of human existence.
City of Positano, Italy 
City on the side of a mountain. One awkward move and you can go head over heels. But to those who are careful, nature will reveal all its true beauty.
Angel Falls, Venezuela 
One of the largest waterfalls on the planet Earth. A wonderful spectacle of natural power!
The property of the entire human race is the Great Wall of China. The construction began in 472 BC against nomadic raids on Chinese tribes. The length of the wall is, not much, not enough, 8851.8 kilometers. The only architectural monument that is visible even from space.
Eiffel Tower, France 
The Eiffel Tower has long been associated in the world with France, with its high fashion, and perfumes of unsurpassed quality. It is also the center of all couples in love. In general, the most spectacular building that everyone must see at least once in their lives.
No less interesting places are in Arizona. The whole landscape is decorated with an unusual wave pattern. The surface of this area very much resembles the surface of a planet not as distant as Mars.
That's all dear readers, have a good day and wonderful travels!
Our world is an amazing place! Many countries, different nature, very special people - every time we discover the world in a new way, despite the fact that we travel to the same country several times a year. Our team has set itself the goal of discovering for you those countries that we love and appreciate, and where we travel with pleasure. Again and again.
We decided to write an informative article for you and name the TOP 10 countries where, according to our active recreation club, you should definitely go!
1. Norway - the country of fjords and trolls
Few people have not heard of Norway with its very special culture. This is a country where reality and a fairy tale meet - the citizens of Norway believe in trolls with all conviction and know that even in the most ordinary environment there is a place for a miracle.
Surely, you yourself have heard a lot about Norway - about the country of fjords and Vikings, where from a mixture of water in all its states of aggregation, rocks, greenery and a very special atmosphere looms wonderful world, which attracts to itself with its unusualness. Fjords and ferries are a big part of the most popular excursions. People come here to look at the rocks from the water, swim through all the fjords, visit the Lofoten Islands, learn more about the harsh life of the Vikings and go fishing.
We look at Norway from the other side. Active holidays with us are trekking, excursions to untrodden places and new places that are unlike anything else. Preacher's Rock, Pea, Troll's Tongue, Folgefonna Glacier, Mount Galkhepiggen, Bessegen Trail - we see all this with our own eyes and get to know the very soul of Norway!
2. Hospitable Georgia and the secrets of antiquities
Another important place in our trips is occupied by Georgia - a country that is famous for its incredible hospitality and original culture. Georgia is not only a country of beach holidays. Of course, Batumi, Ureki and Kobuleti cannot be deleted from the list of cities that must be visited, but for those who want to fully get acquainted with the sights of the country, delve into the foundations of life, appreciate the beauty of nature and touch the secrets of one of the most ancient nationalities - this is not enough.
Trips of the active recreation club to Georgia have a large excursion component. We not only go to Georgia to taste the local cuisine and enjoy wine tastings, but also to touch the secrets of this country with a big heart. Caves and cave cities, monasteries, fortresses, canyons, waterfalls are just a small part of what we visit on our trips around Georgia. We learn about the architectural features of popular ensembles and devote a lot of time to rest - active and not very active.
3. Iceland, land of ice and fire
Iceland has its secrets and invariably excites the imagination. "A country located on another planet" - as it is sometimes called. And getting there, we are convinced every time that this is so.
Arriving in Iceland, every time we are amazed by its majestic beauty. Eyjafjallajökull, Krapla, Grimsvetn volcanoes, Gelsir and Strokkur geysers, Gullfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls are the hallmark of Iceland, and on every our trip we cannot afford to miss visiting them. And although the team of our active travel club has repeatedly visited the most interesting places in Iceland, every time we are surprised again and again by the inner power that sleeps in the bowels of the land of the land of fire and ice. If you haven't been to Iceland yet, don't delay! This country is a must to visit! Must see!
4. Ski resorts in Finland
Finland is also included in our TOP-10 countries. Most residents of the Northern capital of Russia know it like the back of their hand. Many people come here just for the sake of it - to go shopping, open a Schengen visa, take a walk in the parks and streets of border towns. But few people think about this country as an ideal place for family outdoor activities. And it is precisely here that two of the coziest ski resorts, for several years now they have been combined into one - Ukkohalla and Palyakka. But there is also Ylläs, for those who like more difficult and bigger tracks, who appreciate the vast expanses of snow and are ready to admire untouched nature, combining physical activity with valuable moments of rest.
Why are these resorts great for families? Yes, because there are a lot of ski and cross-country trails of the most varying complexity, and even the smallest tourist-skier will be interested in a ride and look at the expanses clad in snow. In addition, on active trips to Finland, we stay in comfortable cottages and do not deny ourselves anything.
5. India, the Himalayas and places of power
You can talk about India for a long time and everything is to the point: people come here to look at a completely different world. Indians are a special people, they think completely differently from the Russians. That is why we are so drawn here. And pulls for various reasons. Someone loves noisy cities, where you can get lost in the narrow streets and look at the undisguised life of the inhabitants of this country. Someone comes here to learn spiritual practices and join something bigger than our material world.
We included this country in the TOP-10 primarily because of its nature and, of course, because we can touch the mystery. For example, one of our favorite tours is a trip to the Roerich Himalayas, where we travel to the same places as the famous artist and traveler. We visit places where Nikolai Konstantinovich drew inspiration, we visit Buddhist, Hindu and Sikh shrines. Another popular trip is to the Himalayas to the places of power. We are going to Rishikesh, the mecca of Buddhism and yoga, and of course, we visit the Gomukh glacier, from which the sacred river Ganges flows. And for those who are inspired by the nature of the Himalayas, we have specially created a route with a visit to the Valley of Flowers - we go there in August-September, at a time when most plants bloom here, creating an indescribable pattern. We climb to the high-altitude lake Hekmund, raft on the Ganges and visit many sacred places ah and the Places of Power of the Himalayas.
Perhaps that is why every time we come from trips to the Himalayas enlightened and in harmony with ourselves!
6. Romantic Italy
Italy needs no introduction. People come here for the atmosphere - in order to enjoy the most famous sights, visit romantic Venice, pose in ancient Pisa. But few people know that the most correct holiday in Italy is active!
First of all, what you should pay attention to is the Dolomites. Autumn trekking or winter rides? We have not yet decided which is better, so we go there both in autumn and winter, so that we can compare and evaluate all types of outdoor activities!
Do not forget about Venice - we devote the whole day to exploring this city with all its charms, secrets and entertainment.
The third pearl of Italy, which submits to us, is Tuscany with her wonderful landscapes and cities. The province is especially beautiful in autumn - its hills are especially beautiful at this time of the year! Our trip to Tuscany begins with the Path of Love, where breathtaking views of the surroundings await us at the very end. We stop by the medieval town of San Gimignano, which seems to be stuck in the 18th century; visit Siena with its famous Piazza del Campo; we look into the Chianti Valley, where wine-growing lands are spread; we will walk around Pisa and be sure to take photos with the most famous tower; we will walk along the scenic trekking and see the picturesque villages.
7. Hot Greece
Who hasn't been to Greece yet? This direction is one of the most popular among our tourists. People come here to enjoy the sun, the sea, the beautiful weather and excellent service. But a beach holiday is far from all that Greece has to offer.
Our active recreation club decided to shift the interest a bit. We have more than enough sun and sea, because we travel on a comfortable yacht. What is good about this trip? Yes, at least because we are not tied to one place and we see not one city, but many at once! Complete freedom of action, movement and places to visit! We visit the brightest and most interesting places in Greece, but those where you don’t meet tourists so often.
Yachting in Greece is ideal for family active holidays. On such a trip, it is interesting for both children and adults, and special preparation is not required. And this, of course, every time attracts more and more people to such tours.
8. Czech Republic and its Paradise
Most of those who have traveled in Europe have undoubtedly visited the Czech Republic. Prague, Karlovy Vary, Brno are the cities that you talk about excitedly after returning. And every traveler agrees that yes, you should definitely visit the Czech Republic.
Now imagine what will happen if you travel not in hackneyed places, but where there are not so many tourists. For example, visit Czech Switzerland or even Bohemian Paradise - don't be surprised, there are some! Czech Switzerland slightly more than completely covered in lookout towers, villages with history beyond our wildest dreams! Czech Paradise is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful places on the ground. Here you can see ancient castles, rocks carved by nature, but they look as if they were processed by man ... Once there, you feel as if you are transported to the Middle Ages. And if we add to this the unique nature, then you will immediately understand that visiting the Czech capital is far from the most interesting thing that awaits us in this country!
9. Active Vietnam
Now Vietnam is one of the most popular destinations. beach holiday here is delightful, and the active component is bright like nowhere else. It is here that young people like to go - it is interesting, fun, spacious and not too expensive here.
And of course, our active recreation club travels to Vietnam with pleasure - there we ride boats along Ha Long Bay, go trekking in low but very picturesque mountains, enjoy the beaches of Mui Ne - go in for kiting, surfing and windsurfing with little or no sleep, rest and lunch break!
10. Vast Russia
And of course, you can not ignore the beauty of our native country. Russia is good for everyone. And we, of course, pay tribute to her. As a rule, our trips around the country are more like weekend tours, but in some cases our trips can be delayed for a week.
We really love winter skiing in Toksovo and walks on the ice of Ruskeala, walks in autumn Pskov, summer evenings in Pechory and Izborsk, spring trips to the Pushkin Mountains .... The fantasy of our team knows no bounds - we go to the Kronstadt dam, visit Vyborg, visit marsh reserves. And the most important thing is that every time our trips are different, we practically do not repeat tours in Russia, but find new and new places that are interesting and must-see.
Well, do not forget about our traditional summer vacation on Ladoga under scarlet sails! All summer we are happy to discover the open spaces of Ladoga, spend the night in tents and study the nature of the Leningrad Region in the water surface. Still, Lake Ladoga is a unique ecological object, mostly recognized as a protected area. And do not forget that a trip along Ladoga under scarlet sails is not at all useless - we give sailing skills, fish, walk through the forest and coastal rocks and, of course, swim and sunbathe. Such a journey makes you feel in a new way, plunge into the world of nature and adventure!
